FREN 4730
Religious Violence In France

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

This seminar will explore, by means of literary texts and other documents, representations of religious violence in Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern era, with particular focus on France.  From Holy War to religiously motivated resistance, what are the secular mechanisms used to deploy and to deflect religious violence and what is the significance of the ritualistic aspects of such violence for the culture that produces it?  How does violence mark the sacred and secular (for example, the dependence of the Catholic Church upon secular authorities for various aspects of enforcement of religious doctrine, from interrogation to execution of heretics)?

When Offered Spring.
